He also knew that he would be seeing her again, and he wanted to have one more night with her . Hopefully, after that he could put her out of his thoughts for good.
Just the thought of having another night with her sent his temperature rising, and a certain part of his body stirring to life, and he let out a soft curse. What was it about the confounded woman that disturbed him so much and made it impossible to forget her? For God sakes, she wasn't even his type but there was something about her that roused his senses to fever pitch.
Annoyed at himself and the infernal woman, he snatched up the phone and punched in some numbers. While he waited for it to ring, he tapped his fingers impatiently on the desk. “Jill, my sweet, it's Nate.”
“Oh Nate. How wonderful to hear from you darling.”
The voice gushed with eagerness and he let a slow sensual smile lift his lips. “Are you busy tonight? I thought we might have supper together.” He didn't doubt she would jump at the chance, and she did.
“I would love nothing better than to have supper with you. Eight o'clock fine with you?”
“Eight it is. See you then.” Nate didn't wait for her to say goodbye and hung up the phone. Leaning back in his chair, he smiled grimly. One way to forget about a woman was to replace her with another one. Now with the situation under control, he went back to work.

Cooper kept herself busy, which wasn't hard, what with work, looking out for Sandie and taking care of the house. The days flew by, but always in the back of her mind, she waited for the phone to ring and hear Nate's deep sensual voice. She knew she was being ridiculous because there was nothing between them except two wild passionate nights. For goodness sakes, she reminded herself that they didn't even like each other.
It was just sex, plain and simple. Nothing more nothing less, still no matter how many times she had this silent conversation with herself it didn't stop her from thinking about him. For some annoying reason she just wanted to see him again, hear his voice. The dratted man found his away under her skin, and made her itch to be with him again.
She rolled over in bed and thumped her pillow for the umpteenth time, ever since he left, she found it difficult to sleep and she knew the reason why. She missed the impossible man in her bed, how could she after only sharing it with him for two nights? She was crazy, one look at him, you could tell he wasn't a man that believed in a permanent relationship.
He was the love them and leave them type of man, wham bam thank you ma'am , then moved on to the next conquest. It really didn't bother her since he wasn't the type of man she would usually have anything to do with. He was way too arrogant, far too bossy and she suspected an overinflated ego, but she couldn't deny he certainly knew how to give a woman pleasure.
Another thump of the pillow and she rolled over on to her back, and glared furiously up at the dark ceiling. She shouldn't be thinking about him, she needed to concentrate on Sandie's problem. Would Nate make his dirt bag cousin marry her sister, and what would stop the weasel from taking off the first chance he found? Where would that leave Sandie and baby
There wasn't any easy solution to this problem that she could see. No matter what happened, her sister would still be her concern. Even if Sandie did marry it wouldn't change anything. She closed her eyes and thought of the responsibility that would be hers for the rest of her life. It might not be fair and it truly wasn't, she didn't blame her sister for the situation though.
Letting out a weary sigh, she knew these depressing thoughts weren't helping her fall asleep. Nor was thinking about the intimate moments with the blasted annoying man helping at all. She huffed an annoyed breath, and squeezed her eyes shut. She had two days off starting tomorrow, maybe it would be a good idea to ring her friend Shelly in Dallas and have her arrange a
